Best Picture:

1. The Aviator

Which should win: I have seen all of them...Between Sideways and The Aviator, I liked Sideways.

Which will win: The Aviator.

Best Director:

Martin Scorsese for THE AVIATOR (Miramax)

Clint Eastwood for MILLION DOLLAR BABY (Warner Bros.)

Taylor Hackford for RAY (Universal Pictures)

Alexander Payne for SIDEWAYS (Fox Searchlight)

Thomas Haden Church for SIDEWAYS (Fox Searchlight)
